Well.....I needn't have worried.....the directions were perfect, and the caramels came out so wonderfully soft and chewy! Even the hubby, who is not a caramel-y kind of guy, thought these were fantastic. Another win for the boys at Baked!
There aren't any fancy ingredients.......you just need to have a candy thermometer, and make sure that it is working (so you don't over or under cook the caramel). You'll be rewarded with something sooooo much better than any store-bought caramels. And the recipe makes a big batch......so you can pass them out to friends and family. They were perfect bagged up and tied with ribbon.....I handed them out to friends at out son's Valentine's Day show.
Check out The Freshman Cook for the recipe.....and go to Club: Baked to see how the other bakers did........Enjoy!!

Yours look so pretty. I love your packaging! After a few thermometer issues, mine were delicious, but I didn't cut them correctly, and I ended up with a mish mash of sizes. But we loved them too!
ReplyDeleteOh yummy! I have this book and have wanted to give these a try, now I definitely will this weekend. Those look delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe loved these too. Can't go wrong with caramel!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to pass them out for Valentine's Day. Your packaging looks great. I have been traveling and didn't get a chance to make these, but hope to do so this weekend.

oh I must try, I love caramels.
ReplyDeleteYour caramels came out great! I agree that the recipe was super easy. I was a little worried about them not working out. I like the wrapping you used. I am going to do that next time. I just posted mine today. I gave them out on V-Day too, but just now had a chance to post!
